Love my M3, hate the shifter! Don't get me wrong, I am guy, I love stick shifts "I like to play with my stick shift and ball bearings". I just hate the shifter BMW installs on the M3. I traded up to my M3 from a 370z Nismo. I loved the Nismo's pistol grip shifter.

I have seen a similar shifter on BMW's website. However it does not show as being compatible with the M3 only the 1 series. It is called the 'BMW performance shift knob'. Does anyone know if this shifter will work, or have any recommendations for other shifters?
